I tried reinstalling checkinstall-1.5.3-3, and now it seems to work without my patch. It previously failed consistently for a period of weeks, and I have no idea why it now works when previously it didn't (unless either there is something in the rand calls which is time sensitive, or another library has changed). It used to fail even with a simple test script containing something like "mkdir -p /var/tmp/abcde". However, I still think that my patch (or something else with a similar effect) is a sensible precaution, since it eliminates any possibility that checkinstall and installwatch can use the same temporary directory, and therefore prevents the problem I described. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
